This repair person happened to smashed my rare, expensive and vintage 1966 Selmer Mark VI. I just needed a little dial in for action and when I went to pick up my horn, the neck was dinged damaged and crumpled.
He then proceeded to ignore when I asked him what happened to it and say it came in that way.
FORTUNATELY I had photos of when I purchased the horn (thank you DC Sax!) as well as photos from a few days prior to dropping it off.
I brought up pursuing legal action if I didn’t get any kind of compensation for the damage and did get a fraction of the value of the damages.
If you choose to use the service offered, please be careful.
